The light catches the water as it dances in the fountain. The casino is just behind. An iconic view of Monte Carlo - a photo taken by thousands of visitors each year. After all these years, I suppose I should feel it's all too corny for words, so don't tell anyone, but actually I still love it! Here it is almost in silhouette.

The Almost Silhouette

What a stunning photo. I love the way you can see the texture in the water.
I think that the minute you no longer find this beautiful and wonder at it, is a sign that you have lost joy for life and I will be very worried for you.
The fountain is beautiful, Jilly! And that gorgeous building in the background is a casino?? Wow.
lovely fountain, lovely for everyone not only the tourists, glad you showed us all.
That`s a great shot of a wonderful fountaine...
You were at the right spot at the right time - especially the water is outstanding.
Yes, beautiful! Great photo and most fascinating the water. Well, typical Monaco - diamonds instead of water!

It is a lovely cap of liquid. Fountains are fascinating and you photographed this so well for our pleasure.

Love the glittering fountain!
I think it's splendid Jilly!!! Don't apologize. It is a perfect shot of Monte Carlo!!
I never fail to take 100 photographs of la Tour Eiffel each time I'm there and never tire of it. It's something i can't stop myself from doing. I hope I never get over that! :)

Great photo. I am one of those tourists who have photographed the casino. I have a couple of pictures of it in my office. Your photo is much more creative.
I can see why you do! it is beautiful.
please stop by if you can. I am celebrating two years of blogging with a giveaway.

I love the fountain. So pretty and sparkly!
Very very very nice!
There's something special in the way you captured this view as an almost b&w silhouette.
